Pere Milla (and his representative) decided to arm Elche in negotiations where they considered a contract renewal and the directors of the Elche entity considered an extension; The party interprets that the said transaction cannot be carried out due to the failure to fully fulfill what is written in the contract. A mess that could end up in court, first sport, then mundane.
Despite the open door that Pere Milla leaves open in her statement that she oscillates between a desire not to disappoint a hobby of which she is the hero, and her intention to continue, the two sides seem far from agreement at the moment. from economics to Christian Bragarnik.
What can happen from now on? The first important dates, if there is no agreement, will come at the beginning of July, when the football player realizes that he does not have a contract with Elche. If that happens, he may sign with another club and not return to Franchiverde discipline for his pre-season start. In such a case, they risk a legal battle that, given the background of recent years, Pere Milla has hardly faced, at least fully, to understand why.
Other cases of disagreement between clubs and football players
ZUBIAURRE: THE CASE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING. In 2005, a football player from the Real Sociedad subsidiary decided to sign with Athletic. His name quickly gained media attention due to a complaint from the San Sebastian club, which appeared to be a valid contract. La Real wanted 30 million euros, which is the clause. The player could not even train while the case was resolved and was ordered to pay 5 million euros together with Athletic. Then he suffered more with injuries before reaching the expected level. Passed by Elche (2008-09). His representative did not leave unscathed. Zubiaurre denounced him and was ordered by FIFA to pay 2.8 million for negligent management.
MESSI: EARTHQUAKE AND BACK. The Argentine star shocked the football world and above all Barcelona fans by announcing in August 2020 that he did not want to continue his life at the club, realizing that he was out of contract. Its president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, welcomed the already renewed connection and kept the pulse at “10” and forced him to go to court if he wanted to leave. Messi backed out and agreed to continue as a Barça player last season, saying he didn’t want to go to court against Barcelona before signing with PSG.
LAFITA AND MATUZALEM: ZARAGOZA GOES OUT OF THE BOX. In this case, if there is a club that is penalized, it is Real Zaragoza. Hands had to pay for two signatures, and the court eventually ruled that the players had unilaterally terminated their contracts. This happened first with Shakthar Donetsk at Brazilian Matuzalem (FIFA set his final price at 6.8 million, although the Ukrainians wanted much more and the penalty was almost double in the first place), and then with Lafita on his return from Deportivo. They had to pay 1.5 million.
LOLO, ÁLVARO AND DE LA FUENTE: THE FUTURE WAS NOT BETTER. Young promises with the ambition to improve have also been involved in such cases. It happened to another ex-Franjiverde, Lolo Plá, when he went to Benfica in 2013. Valladolid denounced and there was an agreement at the gates of the case. A similar situation happened in Osasuna when he went to Monaco with goalkeeper Álvaro Fernández. He also had a last minute deal (€400,000) and the player lost another try with their Navarrese manager. Recently, Leganés and Valladolid filed suit for De la Fuente in a confidential extrajudicial settlement.
